The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 70 Seeing the Dragon in the Field
Ji Ran smiled and asked Ying Zheng: "Qianliangqianliang, whether it is normal life or the bachelor in that conversation, they all think that money and food have the same meaning. Do you think so too?"

Ying Zheng replied: "Money can be used to buy grain. It's just that the conversion ratio between money and grain will be different."

Ji Ran asked again: "Then where did the food you bought with money come from?"

Ying Zheng just wanted to say that just like Han Fei bought grain from Wei, Qin could also buy grain from the other six countries.But then he thought about it and Ying Zheng understood: "If the kings of the seven countries think so, then where does the final food come from?"

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng saluted Ji Ran and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sir, for your advice."

Ji Ran smiled with satisfaction and said: "The second policy is agriculture. Agriculture is the foundation of today's world. What you have to understand is that the output of the same piece of land is different every year. Farmers always say that they have to rely on God to reward them. Eat, do you know why?"

Ying Zheng replied: "Because of the unpredictable weather, the amount of rain directly affects the output of the farmland."

Ji Ran said: "In addition to rain, there are also wind and snow, and even natural disasters such as locusts. So the agricultural sector is divided into two parts."

"First, intensive farming ensures that the yield of the fields can be greater without natural disasters. This also includes the invention of working tools to make farmers' work easier and the study of refined farming steps and farming methods."

"Second, optimize seeds. The yield and quality of different seeds are different. The so-called oranges in Huainan and tangerine in Huaibei have similar leaves but different tastes. We must optimize the uniqueness of each place in the vast land of Kyushu. Seed."

"At the same time, look for excellent species as new main sources of food. The one currently available should be corn, and you can go to the Western Region to collect the other species you need in the future."

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly and asked, "Sir, what is intensive farming?"

Ji Ran replied: "Breakthroughs can be made in the following three directions."

"The first production tool, including the Quyuan plow that I traded with the farmer a few years ago, will also be given to you later. It was optimized by summarizing the wisdom of many predecessors in Yang Guang's time."

"The second farming method. Today's farming methods are mostly ridge farming. Here I will introduce in detail another farming method called the Daitian method. You can choose two pieces of land with similar yields, experiment, and then decide whether to promote it. "

"The third is to build water conservancy to facilitate irrigation. I will teach you how to make a barrel cart. This will help to make the river water flow upward in the drought situation just mentioned to help irrigate farmland."

"However, the construction of barrel carts needs to consider the size of the water flow and the spacing between barrel carts. You can think of barrel carts as snagging ropes for the river. If there are too many snagging ropes, the horses will no longer be able to run."

Ying Zheng thought about what Ji Ran said for a while and found that Ji Ran was not blindly recommending, but also provided dialectical comparison ideas, which seemed very desirable.

Ying Zheng asked again: "What do you mean by optimizing seeds, sir?"

Ji Ran replied: "There are two ideas for optimizing seeds. Please listen."

"First, when you go to harvest an acre of field, there will always be rice with full and fat grains and rice with dry and sparse grains. So if you use the fat grains as seeds next year, will there be any Potentially increase production.”

"If you persist in this way, the quality of the seeds will become higher and higher, and eventually even reach the possibility that the yield per mu may be several times higher."

"Second, I will draw several crops for you. With them, you can even produce thousands of pounds per acre. One of them is potatoes, one is sweet potato, and the other is jicama."

While speaking, Ji Ran drew them on the cloth one by one with a pen, and said to Ying Zheng: "These names are my names, maybe they have their own names locally. These plants all grow in There is no fear of locust plague in the land."

"And it tastes pretty good, too."

Ying Zheng feels that being able to learn from Ji Ran is probably the luckiest thing in his life.At the same time, he also understood why Ji Ran dared to say that if he was given 20 years, it would not be Da Qin that would unify the world, but Da Qi.

It's just that the knowledge and information Ji Ran gave him so far has surpassed this era by far.How much change will the industry and commerce not mentioned below and the unknown technology bring about?

Ji Ran said: "In fact, industry and commerce are very similar, but I don't want to introduce the two too much, because only if it is based on a sufficiently developed agriculture, industry and commerce will develop and grow. Otherwise, it will just be a small fight and a group of speculators. "

"As for workers, I just want to say two things. First, there is a way to provide relief to the victims called work-for-relief. That is, only when you work will you be given porridge."

"Secondly, go to work nearby. If a person from the state of Chu is sent to leave his hometown to repair fortifications in the state of Yan, I think he will go crazy. If he doesn't betray in madness, he will perish in madness."

"Finally, Shang, I think no one understands the pros and cons of Shang better than you. After all, the biggest business transaction in the world is that Lu Buwei invested in your father, isn't it?"

Ying Zheng was silent after hearing this. Although he was unwilling to admit it, his father did become the King of Qin because of Lu Buwei, and Lu Buwei also achieved his current status because of his father.

Ji Ran ignored the silent Ying Zheng and continued: "I forgot to mention the breeding industry when we were farming. In fact, plants and animals can promote each other, such as raising small crabs in rice fields."

"Another example is raising chickens, ducks and geese in vegetable fields. Not only can they help catch insects, but they can also lay eggs themselves, and their excrement is also an excellent fertilizer."

Ying Zheng didn't expect that there were so many tricks in agriculture. He thought in his mind: "It seems that Mr. pays more attention to scholars and farmers than anything else, especially farmers. If Mr. went to the farm, I am afraid that Tian Guang's position as the leader of heroes would have been lost long ago." ”

After Ji Ran finished drawing the structural diagrams of farm tools such as bobbin carts and curved shaft plows, as well as images of potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yielding crops, Ji Ran said to Ying Zheng: "I wonder if the King of Qin is satisfied with our deal?"

Ying Zheng saluted Ji Ran solemnly and said, "Sir, you can be the teacher of Qin for hundreds of generations."

Ji Ran looked at Ying Zheng and said: "This time when I go down the mountain, I have finished what I want to do. When you send troops in the future, maybe we will have a chance to meet. I will send you to meet up with Gai Nie and return to Qin. You decide for yourself whether you should go back to Xianyang directly from the National Camp."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he nodded and saluted Ji Ran and said, "Zheng thanks you for your teaching."

Ji Ran helped Ying Zheng up and left the room without saying anything else.And Ying Zheng looked at Ji Ran's leaving figure, then looked at the sky and murmured: "Finally we can have a big fight."

Two days later, the Qin State camp said: "Wang Jue, the chief of Zuo Shu, has met the king."

Ji Ran secretly saw Ying Zheng entering the Qin army camp, so he ignored him and returned to Taiyi Mountain, not even saying hello to Han Fei before leaving.

"He's gone." Wei Zhuang said to Han Fei.

"It seems that my friendship with him has finally come to an end, and he didn't even say hello when he left." Han Fei said sadly.

"He and you and I are on different paths." Wei Zhuang narrated calmly.

"Yes, we have different paths. The occasional encounter may be due to his goodwill towards the world, or maybe it is just his randomness. Who knows." Han Fei looked at the sky outside the window and drank a glass of wine.

Ji Ran, who returned to Taiyi Mountain, felt that after experiencing the Nanyang disaster, anger, pain, and sadness, her spirit seemed to have been sublimated after helping and relieving the victims.

Now my mind is clear and I seem to have a feeling of ecstasy.After consulting Ming Lingzi, Ming Lingzi said: "This is the interaction between heaven and man. You can enter this feeling just by chance."

"Once you can freely control yourself to enter the communion between heaven and man, then you will not be far from breaking through to the great master of heaven and man."

In the days that followed, Ji Ran no longer forced herself to enter into communion between heaven and man. Instead, she carefully took care of the fusang branches and practiced her own skills every day.

On this day, Ji Ran came to Ming Lingzi and said, "Master, I want to read the mind law books of Wanchuan Qiushui and Xinruzhishui. Is it possible?"

Ming Lingzi asked: "Oh? Why do you want to read them?"

Ji Ran replied: "Because I want to try to see if I can restore the "The Supreme Good Like Water" left by the Taoist ancestors (the Supreme Good Like Water is not the Supreme Good Like Water of the Yin-Yang family, but can be understood as the merger of the Yin-Yang family's Dongjun, Moon God and Xinghun). "

Ming Lingzi nodded and said, "Good." At the same time, he took out two pieces of leather and handed them to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran looked at Ming Lingzi in surprise and asked, "Did Master already know that this disciple wants to learn?"

Ming Lingzi shook his head and said: "I was just looking at Xin Ru Zhishui's exercise method to see how to change tendons and cleanse the marrow after practicing. Among the exercises you gave me for Yi Jin, there is a very good book called "Yi Jin Jing". It’s mysterious, but it seems like it’s still unfinished.”

"As for marrow cleansing, there is only one concept or even an idea. Everything needs to be created by the teacher and your uncle, which is really a bit troublesome. But it is a necessary step for the success of body refining."

"So your uncle and I have copied a copy of the Taoist Kung Fu books so that we can observe and study at any time when we feel inspired."

One day seven years later, the current leader of the Human Sect, Xiaoyaozi, was 45 years old, and his cultivation had already been stabilized at the innate master level.And Tianzong's senior brother Chisongzi is already over sixty. In the battle between heaven and man in a few months, I don't know who will win and who will lose.

This year is 230 BC, and it is also the time of another battle between heaven and man.But what surprised Ji Ran was that this year was the beginning of Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms in history, which was also the battle to destroy Han.

But Ji Ran, who was in Taiyi Mountain, did not receive news of South Korea's destruction, nor did he receive news of Han Fei's death.However, the Qin State has changed a lot in recent years. Five years ago, Lu Buwei, the powerful prime minister, died in the fiefdom.

Queen Mother Zhao Ji was also ordered to live in seclusion in the cold palace because of Lao Ai's incident, and Ying Zheng began to officially take charge of Qin State, the most powerful carriage in the world today.

"It seems that Ying Zheng has remembered what I originally wanted to say to Tianze, build walls high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king?" Ji Ran thought in her mind. "Look at the Qin State building water conservancy projects, reclaiming wasteland, and encouraging animal husbandry. Does it want to crush the six countries and accumulate national power? Why not give him a helping hand?"

Thinking of this, Ji Ran picked up the bamboo slips and wrote a title on it, which was "Agricultural taxation spread across every acre".After writing more than a thousand words eloquently, Ji Ran descended from Taiyi Mountain.

After meeting Ying Zheng, Ji Ran also discovered Zhao Gao who was waiting beside Ying Zheng.The killing intent flashed in his eyes, but as the leader of the snare, Zhao Gao was so keen on killing intent that he noticed it immediately. Although his body did not move, his body was already tense, like a bowstring.

Be ready to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time.Unfortunately, Ji Ran did not take any follow-up action. He just said to Ying Zheng: "Here is something very helpful to you. Besides, I don't like this servant very much. Don't let me know about him, otherwise he will die."

Ying Zheng looked at Ji Ran with some confusion. He didn't know why his gentleman was so angry that he had such murderous intentions for a chamberlain.However, Ying Zheng didn't think much about it and asked Ji Ran: "I wonder, sir, how do you think the Qin Kingdom has changed over the years?"

Ji Ran nodded and said: "Very good, but I am a little eager for quick success, so I can slow down a little more. Have you found those seeds?"

Ying Zheng shook his head, but still said: "Although we didn't find those seeds, the yield per mu has doubled from 200 kilograms to [-] kilograms."

Ji Ran smiled slightly and said: "Then when the Qin army destroys Han, please notify me. Han Fei should join Qin, how do you feel?"

Ying Zheng said with some regret: "Mr. Han Fei's heart still belongs to South Korea, so I can't trust him. I asked him to teach the prince."

Ji Ran asked in surprise: "Don't you want to hire a Confucian scholar to teach Fusu? Why did you ask Han Fei to teach you instead?"

Ying Zheng said: "Although Mr. Han Fei cannot wholeheartedly think about Qin, I still believe in his knowledge in education. This is what I thought after seeing the ink. Today, except for you, Mr. Han Fei should be One of the most knowledgeable people."

Ji Ran nodded and said: "It is also a good destination for him. The most beautiful woman in the world, Yan Lingji, didn't you include her in the harem?"

Ying Zheng looked at his husband speechlessly and asked: "Sir, you really like Yan Lingji, otherwise you wouldn't ask me this question."

Ji Ran said: "I actually want to take that Nongyu who plays the piano in the quicksand and this Yanlingji into my Zen Buddhism, but I don't know how the situation is now?"

Ying Zheng said: "It's a pity that the Nongyu girl is already dead. She died in the mission to assassinate Ji Wuye."

Ji Ran also sighed: "It is indeed a pity that a person who was born with a spiritual constitution close to nature was forcibly trained by Zi Nu to become a killer. It is a pity that he still died in such a stupid mission. Without Han Fei's quicksand, As expected, things are becoming more and more unorganized.”

Ying Zheng continued: "It seems that Yan Lingji also joined the quicksand, but the late prince Tianze died in Bai Yifei's hands."

Ji Ran asked no more questions and said to Ying Zheng: "I'm going back. I'll tell you some things after you unify the world. That should be your penultimate lesson."

Ying Zheng nodded, and still saluted and said goodbye to Ji Ran, without the slightest arrogance of a king.

Ji Ran, who returned to Taiyi Mountain, began her silent practice again.Five more years later, in 225 BC, Ji Ran was 40 years old, and Xiaoyaozi, the current head of Renzong, was 50 years old.

Xiaoyaozi, who lost in the last battle between heaven and man, took a boy up the mountain.Ji Ran didn't ask any more questions. He never cared about the affairs of the Renzong and was just an elder in name only.

Now 40 years old, Ji Ran's cultivation has become more and more unpredictable. Five years ago, he even used six Shaolin stunts and the tempering method of 36 bones in the "Secret Method of Bone Refining" donated by Hu Tiehua to exchange ghosts with Gui Guzi. Gu Zongheng's swordsmanship, breathing and formation techniques.

Just because Ji Ran hasn't read the Taoist scriptures in Gui Valley yet, the same Gui Valley secrets have unique ideas and can give Ji Ran a lot of ideas and inspiration.Today, after more than ten years of exploration and experimentation, Ji Ran has basically integrated the three elements of Wanchuan Qiushui, Xinruzhishui and subtle mysterious power.

This is also thanks to the experience of Ji Ran in the previous life who used the Yi Jin Jing to combine the magical power of the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Arhat's Demon Subduing Technique.

Ji Ran, who had achieved a little success, even had the courage to fight Ming Lingzi and Bei Mingzi respectively. Although he was still defeated by the two, his own ethereal feeling became stronger and stronger.Although it still cannot reach the state where Bei Mingzi seems to be absent in the original work.

At a glance, you can only see an extremely thin shadow and a shallow reflection on the ground. If you don't look carefully, it is extremely difficult to spot.Because when Ji Ran was practicing the outdoor totem and the soul-based dragon, he found that if the true energy was not at a certain level, it would be difficult to support the cultivation of the soul.

Therefore, ten years ago, Ji Ran's focus changed from spiritual soul cultivation to solve the problem of demon souls to cultivating true energy.Now that she has achieved some success in her true energy, Ji Ran finds that her body is barely strong enough to withstand the operation of the "Supreme Goodness Like Water Jue" that combines the three Taoist masters' techniques.

If Ji Ran wants to refine her true energy to a great level, she may not be able to with her current body.A few days ago, Ming Lingzi and Bei Mingzi spent 15 years of hard work and finally perfected the Taoist body-refining method "Hunyuan Dao Body".

Not only has the "Secret Method of Bone Refining" been perfected, it can temper all [-] bones in the whole body, and it has even added a marrow cleansing and aperture condensation chapter.However, there are only two acupoints: the eye aperture, the ear aperture, the mouth aperture, and the soles of both feet.

Speaking of the two earthly apertures, it was Ji Ran's insights after practicing "Emperor Tian Hou Tu", and it was developed by Ming Lingzi and Bei Mingzi, with Ji Ran's guidance.Today's Bei Mingzi, Ming Lingzi, and Ji Ran all walk like the ground shrinks to an inch, with a step of 30 meters.

And it was extremely fast, leaving only an afterimage.I don't know how much better it is than the Mohist's "Electric Light God Walking".In fact, because of the two apertures of the earth, Bei Mingzi went to Yin Yang's house to ask for the magic formula of "Emperor Tian Hou Tu", and Ming Lingzi also went to Mo's house to exchange for "Dian Guang Shen Walk".

It is a pity that Chi Songzi, as the head of the Tianzong, has difficulty learning due to his limited qualifications, and Xiaoyaozi, the head of the Human Sect, has an impure mind, and has even stagnated in the cultivation of internal skills over the years.
